And here it goes again with 'it doesn't matter, they all do it, it is all the same' misinformation. You putting it in a new way "our stuff isn't really private with either" was mildly clever though. A good sugar coating of the same verifiably bogus claim.
1. Yes, total privacy is not currently possible. So why bother, they're all the same. The huge degree and breadth of difference in data privacy compilation doesn't matter at all. They'll get something, you can never be private -- "our stuff isn't really private with either".
2. Yes, an app you choose to install and open almost certainly will collect a category or another of privacy data. So "our stuff isn't really private with either". Sure, the ability of the app on one platform to then track you very widely across all other apps -messaging, maps, call log, contacts etc etc doesn't matter.
3. "It's not like Google is hiding it"? They certainly don't hide in their P/L the huge data monetization as an advertising revenue line item. The more privacy data they collect the bigger that line item, their by far biggest line item. Certainly their consistent terming of privacy data collection as "user experience" as well as fighting one's ability to see and delete the massive data collected(see EU for that) -- yes, Google certainly is honest and open. I'm sure every average user knows how much private data Google collects. Honest as it comes.
4. The general point of Apple just started doing it, Well there you go, it's only been a year or whatever. I think it was early 2019 when they let Facebook know and Facebook then wanted to make Apple feel pain". Sure, it is odd you noted Google's honesty virtue while questioning Apple's motives because it was only recent -- especially when your point is they're all the same. Maybe Apple will one day be honest about it like Google, right.
Here's some shade for you all. iPhones are not superior to Android phones in every way. Android based have advantages. Up front cost clearly one of them. Far more models to choose from. If you like to do internet based App installation, there is another markedly clear advantage. But on privacy data security, Apple walks away in this category. The two aren't even in the same ballpark, period. You can dress your responses up all you want (and based the history of replies from 'they're all the same' posters, I expect any from you should be interesting). What it factually and indisputably won't contain is evidence that privacy data security 'is the same'. Apple runs away with the victory in this category. Those arguing otherwise just do not like that indisputable fact.
